Luang Prabang - Laos

Luang Prabang is situated on a peninsula at the strategic junction of the Mekong and Khan rivers in Laos. Every day we were up at dawn so that we could catch long procesions of saffron-robed monks file out of the monasteries and make their way barefoot through the streets, with wooden alms bowls. Along the route, locals and tourists present sticky rice and other food --thereby earning merit by performing this good deed. Great Photo Opps!
